Ah, that makes sense, I hadn't thought of that (about getting around rib cages). I'm pretty much self taught when it comes to fishing--my dad never goes fishing on his own so never taught me anything about it. I think the closest he's been to a fishing pole in the last ten years was to walk out on frozen lake to say hello to an uncle I was ice fishing with.

Mags from roughly 1991 to 1997- M*n Only, M*yfair, Cl*b Int. and M*n's World mostly, but occasionally I'll shell out for the odd Knave/Lovebirds etc if I know it has a fave model inside.

Music- mostly psychedelia (old and new, soft and hard), Brit folk revival ('60s and '70s), prog rock, kosmische, noise, improvisation, black metal, '70s hard rock, '80s post-punk/industrial underground stuff, avant-garde etc!!

@Tab, wow, I love old toys too.I don't really collect, but I can never pass up a nostalgic old toy.Last weekend I bought a Potsie Webber , Happy Days doll still in the box.That kind of thing thrills me to no end

Have you ever had Potsie appraised?

I have so many now that one person once asked me if I was (past tense sense) blonde.

Art in electronic form--nudes, paintings, photos, typefaces, etc. We have very little money to purchase much, and extremely little space to keep anything "more real", but we do what we can.

So if anyone asks them to make comeback we know where to ask from!
I collect records, stopped counting them long time ago, maybe 4000-5000 LPs, mostly old punk rock, dub, reggae, funk, soul , Who, Zeppelin etc....
I also collect old match-labels, I have quite a pile of late 1800s labels from Sweden and maybe few tons of labels from 1950s-1970s Soviet Union, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Baltic countries, I love cool graphics and all kind of old propaganda-art. I`m a bit freak, so I have started to scan my collection!

Here`s randomly picked labels:

[Fabrizio]

The italian version of Columbo (Peter Falk).
77 episodes.
Did you know that the episode "Murder By the Book (9/15/71)" was directed by Steven Spielberg?

And, of course, all concerning Pl@yboy.
But a curiosity: I have not any issue of the magazine or Special Editions!

Ciao

Stamps, coins, beer labels, highlights of various sporting events (all meticulously archived), football, cricket and rugby programmes, vintage books... Oh, and pornographic magazines. While I am not a hoarder and keep things neat, organised and tidy, I am an avid collector. I have heard it is some sort of OCD, but hey...
